Stihovi vezani uz Lamentations, 2:
Lamentations 2 describes the destruction of Jerusalem by the Babylonian army and the affliction of the people who was homeless and food. The chapter portrays the city of Jerusalem as a desolate widow who cries and calls for help, but no one helps her. Below are five verses related to the topics covered in lamentations 2:
Psalm 137:5-6: "If I forget you, O Jerusalem, forget my right of your dexterity. If you don't remember you, you cling to the taste to you; if you do not prefer Jerusalem to My greatest joy. " This psalm portrays the pain and longing that the exiled Jews felt for their hometown, Jerusalem, after its destruction by the Babylonians. This longing is a theme present in lamentations 2.
Isaiah 3:26: "And their doors will moan and mourn; she, desolate, will sit on the floor." As in lamentations 2, Isaiah 3 describes a city (Jerusalem) desolate and hopeless. Isaiah also uses the image of moaning and mourning doors, which is a figure of language present in lamentations 2.
Ezekiel 27:30-31: "And they will mourn over you with bitterness of soul, and they will make up bitter weeping, saying, Who has been like a tire, destroyed in the middle of the sea? When your traders were princes, and your merchants The most illustrious of Earth ... "This verse describes the lament of the inhabitants of shooting, which was also destroyed. Weeping and lamentation are common themes in lamentations 2.
Joel 2:12-13: "Still, right now the Lord says," Convert you to me of all your heart; and that with fasts, and with crying, and teep. And tear your heart, not them, not them Your garments, and convert to the Lord your God, for He is merciful and compassionate, late in angry and greatly benefited, and repents from evil. " Joel urges the people to repent from their sins and turn to God, who is merciful. This message is similar to that present in lamentations 2, where the people are described as deserving of divine punishment.
Zechariah 1:15: "And I am very outraged against the nations safely; because I was a little outraged, but they aggravated evil." In this verse, God is outraged by the nations who feel safe while Jerusalem was destroyed. This divine anger is also present in lamentations 2, where the people suffer the punishment of God for their sins.
